(...) Joe, I believe you have to set an option when you create the PDF to disallow copy/paste. I'm viewing the security options on my copy and it says "Content copying or extraction: allowed". And yes, I can copy text. ROSCO (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Rumors abound, and likewise, nobody got their money back. The goal (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

John, In regards to your question about the previous ideas of doing a Lego magazine..Yes, this is not a new idea. It has been discussed before in various ways, but sadly until now none have come to fruition. It should be noted for the record that (...)

(...) Awesome stuff! One suggestion, coming from someone who works in a copy center. I think this would be better if it were formatted for 8-1/2x11 paper instead of 11x17 paper. This would make printing out a copy a lot easier. Russell BayLUG/BayLTC (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Is it just a quirk of my system (I'm viewing it with Preview in Mac OS 10.3.9), or are other people seeing this too? The text on some pages is cut off by a nearby image.
